I can’t believe it’s already here. It feels like just yesterday I was a small 6th-grader entering Middle School. Well, it’s been 3 years. And I thoroughly enjoyed middle school- I entered at the perfect time- the school had just finished renovations, and all my teachers were amazing. 

And now, I’m going off to an even bigger (and one heck of a confusing) school as a mature 9th grader. And today (well, at the time you’re reading this) is my first day.

The future’s bright- new friends to make, new classes to take, unintentional rhymes to create. I’m taking all honors classes (and an engineering course, along with French and Orchestra), so I’m (not) prepared for loads of work each night- but it’ll all be worth it.

This Summer, I wasn’t as active as I had hoped I’d be. And with certainty, I’ll be much less active this fall and beyond. Alas, there are still exciting things to come: a revamped It All Adds Up coming this fall, more featured photos (by the way- a new post releases 9/5!), and lots more exciting content.

More is to come when I release the September post calendar on September 10th.

I now have glasses! 👍  (Shoutout to Warby Parker!)

I’m getting braces! 👎

It’s going to be a great year! We’ll see what new adventures are to come.

Wish me luck on my first day!
